Description

Niseko 3.0 is an updated and, in many ways, improved version of its predecessor, Niseko 2.0. This incredibly warm, incredibly durable, and incredibly lightweight snow boot will have you question everything you’ve ever worn (winter time) before. The strong EVA outer shell, in combination with the soft wool blend lining, makes this boot difficult to compete with in terms of both comfort and insulation. Design-wise, the boot has been inspired by traditional, northern Japanese fishing/road worker boots. In other words, although worn all year round by some people, this boot has been built for harsh, snowy weather conditions. With every pair of Niseko 3.0 follows a 2-layered removable insole.

Q&A

Why is the brand called FUBUKI?

  • FUBUKI, 吹雪, means snowstorm (or blizzard) in Japanese and since the story behind the brand began in Niseko, we thought it was a fitting name, especially given our products. Read more about our story here.

What size should I go for?

  • For information about our sizing, please read our size guide or contact our customer support team. You find our size guide here.

Where can I try the boots?

How can I dry out the boots? 

  • The best way to dry them is simply to leave them somewhere in room-temperature. Whatever you do, don't use a direct heat source. Direct heat sources and your FUBUKIs are not best friends. Never place them in front of an electric heater/radiator, an open fire, in an electric drying cabinet or in a window that gets plenty of sun on a hot day. If your boots, for some reason, happen to be soaking-wet, you could consider using a boot dryer.

How do I clean the boots?

  • We give our best tips and tricks here!

Is the toecap made out of steel? 

  • Nope, it’s a composite toecap.

How are they on slippery surfaces? 

  • You’ll be surprised by the how good of a grip you get - even on slippery surfaces. The secret sits in the pattern of the lightweight rubber sole.

Please note that:

  • If you live in the U.S., duties are included in the price. Packages within the U.S. are deliverd DDP.
  • If you live in outside of the U.S., VAT and duties are not included in the price. Packages outside of the U.S. are delivered DDU/DAP.

— THE SNOW REPORT
"Wrenching my stiff, frozen feet out of my ski boots and plunging them into the plush depths of my FUBUKIs is now one of my favorite sensations. On really cold days, I start daydreaming about them halfway down my last run, and I can’t say that I’ve felt like that about any other winter boot."

— PLEASURE SNOWBOARD MAG
"The boots have been a big hit across Europe and pairs have even made it back to Japan. Despite its success though, Kalle and Christofer, still in their 20s, are still handling all aspects of the company."

This is my second pair and love em

NISEKO 3.0

Thank you for sending the amazing boots so quickly and efficiently. I won them in the Alpenglow Speaker Series raffle which is a phenomenal event contributing so much to our local non-profits. Thank you so much for generous donation.

NISEKO 3.0

Not much to share yet because of the weather being so warm. However, after removing the boots from the box, I’m thinking there is no way the boots will be secure on my feet and no way I will be able to wear these for hours. Well, I was wrong. The boots are very secure. No heel slippage at all. Like zero. And even though I was at work inside, I left them on for about 3 hours constantly walking or standing. Aside from hot feet, they were super comfortable. Looking forward to testing them in cold weather.

NISEKO 3.0

Love the size and feel! Cute and so warm!

Customer photo review of NISEKO 3.0

I took them out ice fishing and they were really warm! They also kept my feet from freezing, which I have a hard time keeping my feet warm without using my heated socks which I didn’t have to use. I’m definitely pleased with my purchase and will be ordering their non insulated ones and the smaller ankle insulated boots soon!

NISEKO 3.0

Not my first pair! Keep adding new colors to my collection.

Customer photo review of NISEKO 3.0

Fubuki delivers excellent service—fast responses, smooth ordering, and clear communication from start to finish. The boots are outstanding: warm, lightweight, well-built, and clearly designed for real winter conditions, not just looks—and I received multiple compliments every time I wore them. Pricing feels fair for the quality you’re getting, easily competing with more expensive winter boots. Overall, a great value and a brand I’d happily buy from again.

NISEKO 3.0

I love the boots, they are comfortable and very cute. Customer service was great helping me get the correct size.

Customer photo review of NISEKO 3.0

Super cute, lightweight and great traction! FYI, the "red" is more of a bright pinkish/reddish/orange, just in case you are expecting a true red.

NISEKO 3.0

Boots were a Christmas gift and so far they are very happy with them :).

NISEKO 3.0

Purchased my Nisekos as a ski patroller who wants a do everything boot for whenever my feet aren't in ski boots as a replacement for my work out Sorels, and I am completely satisfied! They are everything they claim to be, lightweight, easy to get on and off (I really appreciate the little wedge on the heel that makes taking them off without your hands a total breeze), comfortable, and I get lots of compliments on my bold styling choice.

NISEKO 3.0

Keeps my feet warm for the whole day!

NISEKO 3.0
